OH, NO NOT ANOTHER SNUGGLE!
Well, it is such sweet news that many anthros, thoughtfully isolating themselves, are adopting animals who have no papa or mama, as in this story that MaryMcNeil sent to me. And I read it right after having looked at way too much bad news with mama.
Love the purr recording!
BUT you and I know for sure how we kitties can spruce up a depression! Mama is constantly snuggling me lately (especially when I’m SNOOZING!) so we are going to have to make some house rules around here soon.
I should have said “I”…
Mama seems to be thriving on not having to be or do or wait for or meet or plan ANYTHING in the way she used to…every now and then I’ll catch her looking off into space and I can actually WATCH her whole body relax.
A deep sigh usually follows and then she says, “Loulou, you know what’s interesting about this quarantining? I find myself rushing to get something finished or started, as I used to do, saying to myself that when I am done with whatever it is, I’ll rush into whatever I had planned to do next, and then I realize that it doesn’t make any difference if I don’t finish up chores and such quickly because I’m HERE, I have no place to BE, no appointments, no classes, no rigorous schedule as before! And that, Loulou, is when my whole being says, WOW, isn’t this a wild place from which to view this strange world?”
Mama and I dream more now that we are isolated and frankly, I’m pretty contented to have anthro antics to watch all day long, haha.
Let me amend that.
I have VERY busy, carefully planned days, now that I must fill my time well in solidarity, whatever that is, with mama and papa.
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday, etc. You get the picture, right?
Oh, yes, I forgot, I do allot time to reading and improving my brain.
Loulou, you spend each day pretty much the same way we do.
Really? Wow, we must have gone to the same school.
ooooh – that is such a sweet story! And here, the SPA (SPCA) is loaning kitties and doggies to people who are housebound during this crisis (hoping they will find a forever home) but there are older people who are afraid to take on a pet, knowing if something happened (illness or death!) the pet would suffer and not be taken care of. The SPA would then take it back and find another home. A good idea, No?
YES, a wonderful idea.
Some things just work out no matter the situation Loulou!
I wish that applied to the misinformation the president is spreading. Cases in the US will skyrocket if the country thinks it can “open” by Easter. It is a death warrant for many.
When you consider how many of us lived through Y2K and “The Mayan Apocalypse” it seems strange to come to this…rather like what conquers the Martians at the end of “War of the Worlds.” Hopefully it won’t quite come to that. Purrs and cuddles.
But this is real, very real and getting worse in the USA. The president is endangering lives and no one seems to understand that. This is NOT GOING AWAY IN APRIL!
Frustrating to watch the USA outbreak but you CAN contain it by staying home and APART FROM EVERYONE!!!
Hygiene is most important — soap and water, a miracle against this virus. Mama even washes her lettuce in soap and water and rinses well. It’s fine.
Our days are much like yours, Lou Lou. So far our mom is working from home. We hope you all stay safe and well.
We have been in isolation for four weeks already. The first known case in China was late December and the knowledge that it must be isolated was January. The president says he did not know but the fact is that the USA knew in JANUARY. Go to government info sites and see the facts. The USA MUST ISOLATE everyone or there will be a HUGE spurt of cases that the medical system cannot handle.
